Ok – this is how to setup a FANFIC site.

Select FANFIC as the content type.  Note: after you save, the word CONTENT on the Dashboard will become FANFIC.

For book, I check off EXCLUSIVE. This helps create the book title to which you can add chapters.

As Site Admin, I will set up the ratings myself in a moment, but first, I will check off “Access” – I want to be the only one setting ratings. Second, I check off REQUIRED – I want writers to have to put a rating on their fics. Third, LIMIT – they can only pick one rating.
